Dianne Abbott accused Sir Keir Starmer of getting “no really feel for politics” after Labour’s choice to not award compensation to Waspi (Ladies In opposition to State Pension Inequality) ladies.

In March, the Parliamentary and Well being Service Ombudsman advisable the federal government pay compensation to ladies born within the Nineteen Fifties whose state pension age was raised so it will be equal to males.

The prime minister has denied MPs a vote on the choice to rule out compensation.

Talking on Newsnight on Wednesday (18 December), Ms Abbott stated: “Keep in mind he’s on his large fats DPP pension. What does he find out about ageing ladies?”
